Every page is built from the official label, the regulator’s own records and your lab’s own ranges — and shows you where each line came from, so you never have to take our word for it.
- Sourced from official recordsThe FDA label, the national register, the NIH label database — the source is linked on every page.
- Live recalls and shortagesChecked against the FDA for the exact product code, not just the name.
- No paid rankingNothing is featured or sponsored, and nothing is ordered by who pays.
- Your results stay yoursBlood test files are read inside your browser. We never receive them.
- No health claims repeatedWe show what a supplement label says is in the product — not what its maker says it does.
- Not a doctor, and says soWe explain. We never diagnose, prescribe or tell you what to take.

Peptides and GLP-1
Approved medicine, or research chemical?
Tirzepatide and BPC-157 are both called peptides. One is an approved medicine; the other has no human authorisation anywhere. Each page states the status, the date and the source — and never a dose.
